Killing Gunther

SPOILER: Firstly if you are a fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger then be warned that as others have said, although the film suggests that Arnold Schwarzenegger is a star in it, there is a suggestion of his presence throughout but in reality he is on screen only for the last 20mins or so.

The film tells the story of a odd collection of hit men (and hit women) who get together to kill Gunther (Arnold Schwarzenegger), another hit man.

A documentary crew follow the odd squad as they try and kill Gunther. However he is always one step ahead of them, kills them one by one but they never get to see him.

It is laugh out loud funny in places. Other jokes miss the spot. The ending is very clever. Arnold Schwarzenegger looks odd in it. I think they were trying to make him look younger.

It is also nice to see Hannah Simone playing something other than a model. Her over protective but supportive father is one of the funniest themes in the film.

The whole documentary crew footage being the film struggles in places. Especially in the big shoot out in Gunther's house where for various reasons you are supposedly left with no cameramen but footage is still filmed.

Overall though it is an amusing film but could have been done better.

I watched the whole thing. Arnold has limited screen time but the whole thing is entertaining. At least it entertained me on my flight to Vegas. I mean what did you expect?

I need to find another place for movie reviews. There are way too many uptight people rating movies on IMDb. This movie was fun from the beginning until the end. Schwarzenegger was absolutely hilarious! like another reviewer said, just watch it For that matter make sure you watch any movie before you see the reviews, especially today, because it really can spoil great movies.

It's what you can call a marmite movie, you either love it or hate it. Best to watch with some friends, having some nibbles and beers. I felt entertained and had a good time, never expected it to be an Oscar contestant

Is it utterly ridiculous? Absolutely. But there were plenty of laugh out loud moments, and that's the most important thing in a comedy, no?

Give it 15 minutes, if you haven't laughed by then it's not for you...but I have a feeling you'll be laughing.
